gonna have to try this place. i am very particular about my tennis shoes.

Depends on what you are looking for. Minimalist, Stability, Cushion.
The new rage is a minimalist shoe. Theory is to mimic the natural motion of the foot. This type of shoe is not for a heel striker.

There are several brands and I agree to go to a professional running store to test them out.

Where is it located?

Southeast corner of prien lake and Ernest.

Definitely Tri-Running...they don't just sell the stuff, they live it.

Crocs keep it real

look up vibram fivefingers. barefoot running is the way to go.

they also have Tri Running in Laff

One more vote for Tri Running in Lafayette. They have you walk around barefooted and can tell you if your foot pronates a certain way, need more arch support etc. Once they figure this out, they give you shoe choices that should fit your needs and running style.

I get shin splints on the regular, so any type of asics with their gel soles helps me a lot. The only shoes i use when running

Brooks is definitely the way to go. Depends on what kind of platform you need as to what style. I am on my 6th pair of Adrenaline GTS and plan on getting a 7th when the time comes.

????????????

I thought that is where the Allide Tire store is located!

Located in store directly behind it.

Yep. Same corner. Used to be a scrap booking store. I stopped creating memories in the form of collages and started running. Here's to hoping it doesn't turn into a purse store.

How are their prices? I don't want to spend a fortune!

Tri-running is definatly the place to go. I am on my 5th pair of running shoes from Tri and they have never put me in a bad shoe. Once they analyze your form they will provide you several choices across many brands that fit your gate, you decide which one has the best feel. Price is as competetive as anywhere else in the area, including online. Tri also has a 30 day return policy, if the shoe does not work out they will exchange for one that does.

Most start around $80 and up to around $140. They have several on sale for cheaper but once again the reason for getting shoes there is the custom fit. I saw several shoes I liked but after trying them on hated the way they felt. They will let you try on as many shoes until you find the one you truly love. Trust me, an extra $25 is worth it when it comes to comfort of your feet. You will be glad you spent the money after you have a shoe that is fit to your foot. Try them out- the fitting is free and at least it will let you know what kind of shoe you need to look for.
